Three people are to stand trial accused of murdering an oil worker found dead at a local beauty spot.
Tasmin Glass, 19, Callum Davidson, 23, and Steven Dickie, also 23, appeared at Forfar Sheriff Court today over the death of Steven Donaldson at the Loch of Kinnordy Nature Reserve near Kirriemuir, Angus.
He was found dead at the beauty spot’s car park around 5am on Thursday June 7.
Today all three appeared in private on petition accused of the 27-year-old’s murder.
Davidson and Dickie also faced charges of breach of the peace while Davidson faced an additional charge of assault.
All three, who each live in Kirriemuir, made no plea to the charges during brief separate hearings.
Sheriff Jillian Martin-Brown fully committed the trio for trial and remanded all three in custody pending further court dates being set.
Friends of Steven paid tribute to him following his death and said they couldn’t understand the motive behind his murder.
A week after his death a gathering of friends and wellwishers took place in his memory.
